We skipped FAO Schwarz and Ripley's to save time. We went to the big Toys R Us in Times Square - it was jam packed! And we spent less there than we would have at Ripley's for admission. We took a pedi-cab up to the Mars restaurant, not realizing the fee was >per person<. Luckily Blair had the cash, and we really enjoyed the ride (he zipped around and between cars at stop lights). We all had caffeine with our snack on Mars, and our seats were amazing - the third row of the highest balcony. It was very cool when the dancers were making shapes (a la Ziegfeld) to see them from above.
I'm such a geek. I made a spreadsheet of the places we wanted to go and what time we wanted to get there. In between each stop, I pasted a google map showing the route..The only time we got turned around was when we came up out of the Times Square shuttle station in a different spot than it showed on the map, and we walked a block or so in the wrong direction before finding out we'd been right next to it when we got to the street level.
Jekkyl and Hyde's was cool and lots of fun. We ended up spending about double what we'd have paid to eat something similar at Chilis, but the "show" was fun. Mars 2112 was a little more hokey, but fun. We were still pretty full from lunch so we had dessert and caffeine.
We got home a bit after midnight and all slept like logs. I took some motrin before I went to sleep and my leg muscles feel better this morning than I thought they would. Dan's in a fabulous mood and thought the show was awesome.
